MANILA, Philippines – One of Philippine volleyball’s best and biggest stars Aby Maraño took over the new Rappler Sports Twitter account on Tuesday, February 2, using the hashtag #AbyTakeover to chat with her fans.

Maraño, a former De La Salle Lady Spiker in the UAAP, shared plenty of interesting tidbits about herself, and also joked around with her fans in a very entertaining hour of Q and A.
“Sobrang fun kasi mahilig din ako mag-ganyan. Pag nagkaroon ako ng trip ng madaling araw, bigla ako nagpapa #AskAby. Kaya nung ininvite ako nagustuhan ko talaga agad,” said Maraño, who was happy to show a different side to her compared to
“Lahat na lang ng tao iniisip na beast mode ako parati, so ngayon soft side of me naman.”
(It was super fun because I really love doing this. Sometimes when I feel like it late at night I suddenly tweet #AskAby. So when I got invited for this I liked it right away. Everyone thinks I’m always on beast mode but now I get to show them my softer side.)
Maraño also saw the takeover as a chance to connect more with her supporters, which she would not have been able to do in person.
“Through this, they can reach out to me. And I can reach out to them,” she said. “Para nakikita nila na approachable din pala ako, hindi ako santo na sinasamba samba lang as idol or hindi maabot. Kaya ko rin makipagkulitan (So they can see that I’m approachable, I’m not a saint they’ll idolize or they can’t reach. I can be fun too).”
Maraño did not hold back answering questions and even got personal on potential wedding plans with San Beda Red Lion beau Robert Bolick.
Not planning yet 🙂 but hopefully by age of 25-27 jusko naman. HAHA ask nyo po si @BabesBolick kung ano plano niya! https://t.co/e3NMiDNSaC

The former two-time UAAP MVP gave out advice to fans struggling with school.
Basta’t mag-pokus ka lang sa pag-aaral mo. Mag pursige ka. Mag adjust ka rin sa mga classmates mo always makisama 🙂 https://t.co/RGKsIwGtNZ
